Nero di Troia, Caiaffa, Puglia
£15.95
Caiaffa works to the principle of synergistic agriculture. They believe that nature is man’s greatest collaborator, and that nature maintains balance. Certified organic, they do not use insecticides or pesticides in order to encourage a balanced ecosystem and work at one with nature.
This wine is atypical of Puglia, being light, juicy and with lovely freshness. Reds from this hot region often have high alcohol levels with intensity and concentration that can be a bit tiresome.
What i like about Caiaffa’s wines is that they have great drinkability; lots of flavour, but a light, fleshy quality to them that makes them sit so easily with food.
This is great value for such quality and really worth a go. Try it the next time you have lasagne!

Caiaffa are especially protective of the insects which live on and around their vines; they work in harmony with them and have established a symbiotic relationship in which both parties benefit. For the bugs make it possible for micro-oxygenation and provide the means for nutrients needed to make passage through the soil. This is reflective in their branding and their packaging.
Caiaffa is located Cerignola, a coastal town in the beautiful Tavoliere delle Puglie, northern Puglia. The Tavoliere area was once completely submerged in sea water, which has influenced a very special climate, in abundance of flora and fauna. The soils here are rich in limestone and the vines benefit from the mild Mediterranean weather. Through these wines, you can truly taste the authentic flavour of the land. The grape varieties the estate works with are Primitivo, Negroamaro, Uva di Troia, and Fiano.
Caiaffa’s wines are beautiful examples of the benefits to a harmonic relationship with nature and genuine respect and care for the environment.
